Dear Sir: About three months ago.
noticing a letter addressed to you in

to the cure Of his son by the use OF
Halls Catarrh Cure, we were induced
to commence the use of it for our
daughter Nellie now fourteen years
old, who has been suffering from ca
tarrh for about eight years, during
which time she has been treated by
one Of the best physicians in the city.
We have also tried the use OF almost
all the known remedies for catarrh,
with no more SUCCESS than temporary
relied. Many nights have we laid
awake to hold her mouth open to
keep her from strangling. Her hear
ing had also become affected. We
were afraid that she would never re-
cover. We have now used six bottles
Of HALLS CATARRH CURE, and we
believe Nellie to be entirely cured. In
q few days after commencing the use
of it we noticed decided change for
the better, and from that right along
she has improved. until now she
breathes as easily as any one. She
sleeps well and her hearing is perfect
ly good. We feel that the disease is
entirely removed. We write this un-
collected letter. feeling that is due you
and with the hope that others may be
benefited in like manner. We can
hardly realize that such a change
could be effected i'm SO short a time
after battling with the disease 30 long
We are still using the remedy at inter-

tenn. You are at liberty to use this in
any manner yon see proper. We are
